That's what golf pros were teaching back in the 1950s and '60s. The classic swing--big and full, finishing in a perfect "reverse C." Unfortunately, that same classic swing can put your average 50-year-old in the hospital. Top tour players like Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Tom Kite and Fuzzy Zoeller, to name a few, have at one time or another each been sidelined with career-threatening back injuries. Today even younger players like Fred Couples, Peter Jacobsen and Tiger Woods have closeted that backbreaking motion, along with their steel-shafted drivers, in favor of the gentle power...
They offer six classic summer smoothies, including as the Tropical Treasure and the Cape Codder as well as five "Smoothies with a Purpose." A "purpose," in Wrap-speak, is a nutritional additive, such as ginkgo, lecithin, ginseng, protein vita-mix or nutritional yeast. Smoothies like the "Athlete's Advantage" and "Adam's Rocket Fuel" promise energy and hydration to thirsty customers...
...hours in the car felt a little bit like cheating--but only a little, and not for long. Much as we'd like to believe our children would be content for hours reading the abridged Jane Eyre, nothing keeps them in good spirits the way some not-so-classic kid vid does.

Like him or not, Newman the lyricist is a refreshing irritant. And Newman the composer is a sweet seducer. His music is a lush amalgam of Americana (Stephen Foster and Scott Joplin, George Gershwin and Aaron Copland, classic blues and '70s California pop); it gives symphonic heft to his cagey misanthropy, makes the tunes endlessly listen-to-able. The jauntiest tune in the new set, a sashaying march for Great Nations of Europe, accompanies a brilliantly bleak history of New World colonization, slaughter and disease ("Columbus sailed for India/ Found Salvador instead/He shook hands with some Indians and soon they...
...favorite tactic among record companies is to pair classic rock legends with not-so-legendary contemporary acts that happen to be temporarily popular. The results can be horrifying, like mixing vintage port with New Coke. Surprisingly, though, on Carlos Santana's star-laden new album, this gambit pays off creatively. The CD features a parade of hot talent, including Dave Matthews and Lauryn Hill. Nearly every track bursts with fresh energy and Afro-Latin soul, the latter provided by Santana's mesmerizing guitar solos...
